- Abstract
Tourism contributes to national income. Meanwhile, it consumes resources causing waste and pollution affecting on human health, environment and socio-economics. Regarding to Goal 12 of Sustainable Development Goals, sustainable consumption and production (SCP) is promoted among global communities to reduce resource use, waste and pollution. Therefore, it is important to apply the SCP in tourism for sustainability. The World Tourism Organization (2014) stated that indicators are tools for measuring tourism impacts and these indicators should cover natural resource aspect. The research objective was to study synergistic indicators between the SCP and sustainable tourism (ST). The study areas were conducted in Bangkok and Pattaya, Thailand. Data were collected using a set of questionnaires for in-depth interviews of relevant stakeholders selected using a purposive sampling method. Data were analyzed by using statistical and descriptive analysis. The study found that indicators that would be synergized for the SCP and the ST include two significant indicator sets namely, resource efficiency and pollution control. Resource efficiency are the conservation and efficiency of energy and water uses. While pollution control are air pollution control, wastewater treatment and solid waste management. These indicators would lead to successful national policies implemented on the SCP and the ST.
